Double Knockout on the Bubble
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Action folded to John Mazzarelli who raised all in for 123,000, and Daniel Ciancio then three-bet all in. The big blind In Sun Geoum then sat in the tank debating his decision, and said "Well I have him (Mazzarelli) covered so if I bust I make the money" and put in chips to call.
John Mazzarelli: A♥K♣ 
In Sun Geoum: Q♦Q♣
Daniel Ciancio: 9♠9♣
With two players at risk, the board ran out 5♣J♦6♣9♥3♣ and Ciancio turned a set of nines to get a double knockout, and burst the money bubble. Geoum was not aware that you must bag to make the money, and despite him being eliminated in 19th place, he went home empty handed.
